If you've dreamed of staying in a romantic countryside château but your budget – or lack thereof – was a rude awakening, you'll be delighted by this affordable 16th-century pad between vines, 10km from St-Émilion village. Superior rooms overlook the surrounding park and pool, and the restaurant (closed late December to early February) serves regional fare with chateau wine.
Follow the D122 north from St-Émilion – the château is just near the junction of the D21.
